Instructions
Prepare your brownies according the package instructions in an 8″ x 8″ pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Leave them in the pan and let them cool completely.
Top the brownies with the halved chocolate peanut butter cups, and then prepare the simple peanut butter fudge.
Bring a small pot filled with 2 inches of water to a boil on the stovetop. Find a metal or glass bowl that can easily rest on top of the pot without touching the water. Add the peanut butter morsels, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla to the bowl. Stir the mixture over the boiling water until it becomes smooth. Pour the peanut butter fudge over the top of the brownies in an even layer. Let the fudge cool for at least 2 to 3 hours before slicing.
Notes
You can find peanut butter morsels in the baking ingredients aisle next to chocolate chips at your grocery store.
Allow enough time for brownies to cool before adding the next layers.
